Life in DC

I love waking up in DC, where people dress up, drink coffee, and work long hours. Growing up, I always imagined my life to be like in the movies. Having a cool job, going to meetings, attending socials, meeting new people, dressing up, wearing heels, and running to catch the subway to get to work! Living in Washington DC is better than I imagined, “minus wearing heels and running to catch the metro.” There is no way; I would walk around in heels in this fast-paced city! Like congresswoman, Krysten Sinema said, “Once you live here, you learn to carry an extra pair of walking shoes everywhere you go!” My life in Washington D.C is definitely better than a Hollywood movie. Coffee is a must every morning, dressing up; well what can I say, “I love to dress up” and working long hours is not as bad as I thought. Meanwhile, my time in DC is going by too fast. A typical day for me is usually waking up at 6:30 am and working from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Every day in D.C is an adventure. Being here is like a dream to me because my journey has been long. Every border that I crossed and every desert that I walked makes me realized that it was all worth it because my American dream is becoming a reality little by little. I have been here less than two weeks and I have grown so much in so many aspects. I have learned so much about myself and who I am. My growth has been tremendous and I look forward to the next four weeks. I am extremely excited to be here and I plan on taking advantage of all my opportunities with out wasting a single minute of my time in the capitol of the United States.

Everyday is an adventure in the House of Representatives! Tigers in the house!
